How is Biological Waste Disposed of in Histology Labs?

The disposal process typically involves several steps:

Segregation: Different types of waste are separated at the source to ensure proper handling and disposal.
Containment: Waste is placed in appropriate containers, such as biohazard bags for pathological waste and puncture-resistant containers for sharps.
Labeling: Containers are clearly labeled with the type of waste and relevant hazard symbols.
Storage: Waste is stored in a designated area until it is collected for disposal, following specific guidelines to prevent contamination and exposure.
Disposal: Waste is treated and disposed of through methods such as incineration, autoclaving, or chemical disinfection, depending on the type of waste.
